Cardiac arrest can result from tons of things...allergic reaction, suffocation, etc.  A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest.

Heart attack refers to damage to the muscle of the heart, usually from a lack of blood flow. Most of the time a blood clot forms in one of the arteries that supply heart muscle with blood, blocking the flow of blood.

Cardiac arrest happens when the heart stops pumping blood.
